How To Start Skateboarding

How do I start skateboarding?

The way to start skateboarding, obviously, is to get a halfway decent board. I think that even when people start out they should still ride a professional quality board. So get a board that feels stable underneath your feet. Get on the board in a stance where you feel comfortable, whether it be regular or goofy foot-- regular foot is usually with the left foot forward, and goofy foot is with the right foot forward, with your leading foot. A lot of kids learn to just be ambidextrous and go both ways nowadays which is really cool.
